Abstract

A semi-automated instrumental gamma-spectrometric measuring system with a sample changer has been developed for determination of the radioactive fission products coming from different parts of the primary coolant circuit. The measuring geometry assures higher sensitivities under normal operation conditions and lower ones for significant fuel cladding failures. The minimal detection limits are in the range of some ten Bq/l.
